Responsibilities

Post-doctoral Fellow Position in Novel Vaccine Trial Design and Causal Inference

A post-doctoral position is available for a qualified candidate for methodological research in novel vaccine trial designs and causal inference. We are particularly interested in problems related to causal inference with interference and methods for estimating indirect/ spillover effects. The vaccine trials might be cluster-randomized studies or household based studies with the intent to estimate complex effects of vaccination in population. Other applications besides vaccine trials may also be of interest. Background in network theory might be helpful, but is not necessary. The research may also include developing methods for studying how vaccination selects for different variants of infectious agents.

Qualifications

The candidate should have a PhD in statistics, biostatistics, computational biology, or a related quantitative field and already have some background in quantitative methods in infectious diseases.
